We all need mentors. Whether we are trying to figure out life as a working adult, parenting our children, or have career aspirations, there are people who have experience that we can learn from. If Kobe Bryant could humble himself to add to his toolbox, I think the rest of us should feel no shame in asking for help. #BaxtersBuzz  "Angelic 8s: A Letter To Zara" and is available. https://amzn.to/37BIX44 #Mentor #Mentorship #Humble

As I reflect on my book, "Angelic 8s: A Letter to Zara" it's only fitting that I share my potluck metaphor. You have value. Real value. We all bring something different to the potluck. Be mindful of what you bring and don't underestimate how many others are paying attention. "Angelic 8s: A Letter To Zara" and is available.

Wesley Morgan, principle therapist at Renewed Counseling, and host of the "Everything Renewed" podcast, joined me for an uplifting and transparent conversation. We talked about what led him to counseling, his calling to preach, and his role as a husband and a father. He provided me with some much needed encouragement and advice about my own parenting!. Time, love, discipline, and consistency is where our focus should be. #BaxtersBuzz #Encouragement #Friendship #Fatherhood #Manhood  "Angelic 8s: A Letter To Zara" and is available now. #BaxtersBuzz Link - https://amzn.to/37BIX44

So this is my baby girl's first year in theater and who knew all of the lessons that she would learn?!

"Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much." We must do our very best in the position that we currently hold. It prepares us for what's next and shows others that we can be trusted. So proud of Zara and I LOVE the life lessons that theater is teaching her. #BaxtersBuzz

Congratulating someone else on the work that they're doing doesn't take anything away from you. We must applaud, acknowledge, and encourage those who are doing great things. Your encouragement could go a long way. #BaxtersBuzz
